grandfather is in the hospital this morning, not sure what exactly is wrong, started having some problems this morning, no word yet on his condition...

mornin everyone

Good morning!!!

Morning everyone. TGIF!

Dropped the Z off at Cobb Tuning just a moment ago for the header install. I have a feeling the next 24 hours are going to be LONG.

:hello:

wooo, nice! :excited:

ugh work :drool:

:happydance: it's Friday, but I have to work tomorrow

CBE/HFC. I'll have them scan it and give me the code today after work.

Last time it cleared up with a new tank of gas. Maybe I'll hit up Chevron or Shell and get some of their overpriced gasoline vs. QT/Fry's (usually they share with Circle K, which I think is Shell too, no?).

:iagree:

Very :excited:

Since my wife is at work and no friends around :ugh: I discovered that it's much quicker to book a cab with an iPhone app than to call those MF's directly. :icon14:

:shakes head:

remove your HFC...

Brother im single, and im on the prowl...:icon17:

awesome!!!:tup:

I wish it was nice like today tomorrow :ugh2:

Calls for craptastic rainy Saturday tomorrow and I have a field lacrosse game :shakes head:

If it aint training.. we aint play'n

Nice. :tup: For me that usually meant getting wasted with my buds and making fools of ourselves around women. :shakes head: Great times! :bowrofl:

sorry to hear, nismo. hope it's nothing serious. please wish him well. :)


:icon17: :tup: hahahaha. very convenient.

:tup: lol

:icon18:

nice...:happydance:

baby Faye!!!:hello::hello:

Completely? :icon17:

I'm pretty sure it's the O2 sensor getting too much of a reading like before. Chris told me about putting some steelwool or something in there to limit the gases, I may try that.


Once my warranty is out I'm going to get the UpRev tune so that should help keep it away.

I firmly believe once you go with HFCs, you're gonna throw codes every now and than.. I did the steel whool in the J-bungs of my FIs, im not sure if it helped or not.

Yeah, and I'm okay with that as long as it's the same code and not anything serious, which is why I'll have AutoZone check it out for me and give me the code.

I'd like to go with the test pipes/straight pipes whatever they're called anymore, but I want to be able to pass emissions (I should be able to with the HFCs) and don't want any drone.


I haven't researched them at all, but I assume they'd contribute some drone at freeway speeds...?

Although, if you did what I did, and initially used impact tools to get the oem cats off, you may have messed up an o2 sensor.. what a bitch that was.

Im not too familiar with "drone" but my setup, I do have a "hiss" on de-idle around the 2500rpm range..

I was told it was common with this nissan engine..:icon14:

Nah, we made sure to remove them and hide them before we did anything with the exhaust. They weren't damaged at all.

Though, the one dealership I took it to swears up and down that we lengthened the O2 sensor wire... but when I asked to speak with the tech they were "leaving for the day". :rolleyes:

I won't be going back to that dealership. I only did, because they were close by. They're also the dealership that told me last Oct. that the 2013 models weren't out yet, yet there was one sitting just outside their showroom. :rofl2:

:facepalm:

Yep, I have that hiss too.

And if I don't let the HFCs warm up or "settle" or whatever, I get a very loud metallic sound like it's vibrating.

So I can't ever leave somewhere and show off, because it has an awful sound. I guess that's a good thing...?

Yeah, i fvcked up one o2 sensor and it was a major pain in the azz.. wow. NEVER AGAIN.

I've never heard of that, although, im THAT guy that starts and lets my Z warm up fully before I drive it.. No crazy vibration.

I wish I had that much time to do that everywhere, lol.

It even does it if I run to the the store, come back out - it's like it has to expand or whatnot. It's weird.

Dude, it sounds like an install problem.. who installed it? I'd get it up on a lift and have another look. Make sure all your gaskets are set correctly, get you some steel wool (there's different types of coarsness--I went middle of the road), and check all your bolts to make sure they're fully tightened.

Thats what i'd do.

My friends and I did, so there could be an issue. :icon17:

I do need to get under there and tighten everything, but I don't have a lift. I may take it to a local shop that's reputable.

Go to sears and pick you up a combo pack.. (4 jack stands and a jack) less than $100.. thats what I did.

I have some jack stands and such, but I'm not comfortable or strong enough to torque those bolts from that position. :rofl2:

dude, if you've pulled the oem cats off, the hard work is done.. everything else is easy.

True.

We'll see. Maybe I'll stop being lazy one of these days.
